Clumsy Bags
"Watch the STEP !!..."

My mother-in-law is getting old. She's also getting clumsy. Her knee is damaged because she slipped on some stairs, her elbow when she slipped on a shiny floor, etc.

Clumsy Bags are a new range of underwear, for people who fall... the elderly, the infirm, the young, and the unco-ordinated.

Worn under the clothes, they contain a range of sensors, to determine whether a disaster is about to occur. In the event you slip and fall they inflate in milliseconds, just like a car's airbags, preventing bruised knees, damaged coccyxes and head knocks.

Not cheap, but better than a stay in hospital.

PS. Not to be worn if you are trampolining.

       Sensors solve everything. Personal airbags doubly so. Bun.

       Finally, a practical solution on these pages. Kudos from the AARP generation.

       These have the added benefit that if the wearer jumps when startled, they'll inflate just like a pufferfish.

       Oh what a sight to see! Run around the old age home kicking everyone and they turn into balloons boobling on the grass. What a visual! (Don't tell Robin Willams or he'll use it in a movie)

       Wouldn't these have a tendency to make the wearer roll over and smash their faces on the ground?

       That would be a separate idea.

       i thought of this and had to delete it because of you....blast you bubba, blast you. it was an idea they actually liked as well...

       wow, I read this and assumed you were going to equip stairs with under step bags.   

       that could be fun too.
